NEW YORK WORLD-TELEGRAM, March 8, 1934
* Mock trial of Adolph Hitler
* Anti Nazis - Hitlerism rally

The top of page 3 has a nice banner heading: "Garden 'Jury,' 19,999 to 1, Fins Hitler Guilty of 'Crime Against World"" with subheads and related pictorial. (see images) This was more than 4 years prior to Kristallnacht and about 5 years prior to the outbreak of World War II. Great to have in this NYC publication.
Complete with 42 pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, generally nice.
Note: On March 7, 1934 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, twenty thousand people gathered and listened to speeches marking the first anniversary of Hitler's rise to power in Germany, as thousands more tuned in to a live radio broadcast. The principal organizer of the protest rally, the American Jewish Congress, drew this level of public attention because it had carefully enlisted support from dozens of other organizations
and solicited appearances from public figures like Al Smith and
Fiorello LaGuardia. Most significantly, it had organized the rally, not as a typical protest rally, but as a mock trial of Adolf Hitler.
